Popis: While cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities are being addressed in the port industry, this has not yet been achieved to the required degree. To be effective, cybersecurity must evolve rapidly and constantly alongside technology implemented in ports. This chapter introduces the modern port and explores its importance. It then presents cybersecurity and draws a connection between ports and cybersecurity, highlighting ports as a cyber-physical environment. To illustrate the cyberthreat landscape, five known attacks in ports are explored. This chapter then examines control mechanisms in place for cyber risk management for ports and reviews current cybersecurity guidelines and standards. These concepts are encapsulated in the summary, which mentions digital trends and the future of maritime ports and cybersecurity.
